I will give out the last week's and the monthly auction winnings Tuesday. So, you have until Monday night to get you totals posted. Even if you haven't posted any totals this month, you still can do it. Who knows you might just win.

Sorry about week four, we had a friend who had a stroke and had to fill in some with church activities which meant I wasn't able to get online. Thank goodness for what I learned with spark people, I was able to use cleaning as exercise and watched what I ate and considered my portions.

If you haven't already, come by the challenge thread and update your total. Yesterday ended our first week, so it is time to award the first winner of the auction their Goodie. But, I want to be fair and give everybody a chance to update the totals. So, you have until the morning of Sunday, January 11th to get your totals in.

I broke my ankle and had surgery on Dec 3 - so I am trying to get back on track while recuperating! I just logged on for the first time in a month today (1/4) - but I'll jump in now. Week One 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 -

Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? ... Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to [do these things], not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win..." John F. Kennedy at Rice University 1962

I'll try to remember to do this each day, but I haven't a clue what an auction is.

Week One 1 – 65 2 – 58 3 – 93 Sorry I haven't been posting. I have been super busy! I am working on a PhD in Human Services, Management of Non-Profit Organizations. I never new how much work that was going to be. Wow! I am constantly writing papers. Finding a half a minute to do anything else is tough. Anyway, here it is ... this will get me up to date until yesterday 1/20/09. I will try to keep it up the rest of the month.

4 – 30 5 – 49 6 – 28 7 – 67 8 - 42

How do I respond with a week one, week two, week three and so on like you did below? I know I need to copy and paste, but I'm not sure where or how I do this to get the results you did. But I'm more than ready to get back on the wagon and begin again.

I jumped in ready to start the new year off right but got sidetracked with a nasty stomcah virus and then my hard drive crashed. I am ready to start again. I am in and ready to hit it hard. Week One 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 -

OK I want to do this with my dinosaur computer (bought in '99) and dial up internet, but I am not sure how to do it. I was able to copy the weekly point chart but I do not know how to give you the information. Can you help? Jane

I wanted to post our upcoming January challenge early, so you could read over it and know what to expect. Like the 'Bathtub Challenge' it will not start until January 1.

We are through the holidays and starting a new year, so it is time for new challenges. For the month of January, the challenge will help us get back on track and recommit after the holidays. We will have weekly and a monthly auction for Spark Goodies. Here is how it will work:

Each day post how many Spark Points you got for the day. At the end of the week, whoever has built up the most points for that week will receive a nice Spark Goodie for their reward. If you win the auction one week you can not win it for other weeks, but you will still be in it to win the monthly auction.

Since we receive points for tracking fitness and nutrition, drinking 8 glasses of water, reading articles, etc., this fits into helping us recommit and get back or stay on track. So, for the month of January, continue to track your fitness and nutrition, drink your water, post in our team threads, huddle each day and read some articles. Build up those points and you might be the winner of a really nice Goodie. (Weeks one, two, and three have 8 days instead of 7.)

Because somE are on DIAL UP, PLEASE EDIT YOUR POST rather than posting a new reply each time. COPY AND PASTE this to report your points by editing each day:
